Abstract

The following work is an experimental investigation of the cement — air cyclone efficiency. A Test cyclone is designed to measure the collection efficiency of cement powder at different flow speeds. The cement powder is sifted into patches of. closer particle size. The cyclone efficiency is measured for each particle size at different flow speeds. Measured data is used to compute the sticking probability of the cement powder and of the cement particles of different sizes at different flow speeds. Obtained values can be used for the design of new large size industrial cyclones.
